My favorite scene in any movie...ever. I think the whole movie is being built around this scene so it was not a good choice to cut it from the shorter version. Well, to me the long version of Fanny & Alexander is the actual movie anyway.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this! I first saw this film at a similar age to the main characters', and it has remained with me ever since. This portion of the film, especially. The magic and mystery of spirituality and childhood.
The Bishop's inhuman Protestantism is defeated by Alexander's grandmother and her Jewish lover, perhaps the two groups (women and minorities) that historically have suffered the most from this life hating form of Christianity, too often the substitute for Jesus' gospel of LOVE.
Very true. The subversion and escape from authoritarian abuses is found in that sort of meeting of the suppressed people, in quiet, gentle love, and in smart people meeting to tell stories together, such as in this scene.
It's a symbol of the journey of life, the spirituality in it, which these children are on, and Isak becomes a guiding spiritual presence to give them some insight into it all. It's meant to be unclear, so that viewers can read many meanings into it. That story of a suffering wanderer could be applied to the abused children and their mother of this film...or perhaps the Jewish family and people's history as a whole...or adolescence, and growing into adulthood...or any kind of struggle where you may feel lost and then seek to move on from that.
One of the greatest, most profoundly moving moments in cinema.
Makes me cry every time
Me too.
Me too
Me to
This scene inspired me to start writing.
It will always hold a special place in my heart for that reason.

One of the most beautiful scenes in the world.

Thanks for uploading this :)
I'm curious is this a really quote from some book and from which one is it?
Unintentional ASMR
Can someone explain me what the meaning of the story is?
Life's really rough and there's no prize at the end
@@Ian24s The process is the destination.
@@carlwrangelafsauss5081 Just 'Life's really rough' then..

Slightly out of sync, but eternal all the same.
